Yea, whenever I played cmbn, I could was never good enough to command green troops, they just sucked and They always routed on me. That's why I always used elite forces. It was just easier. But now, I think I can handle green, maybe a little more than before. Yea, but that's unrelated to what I'm saying. I"m not saying, how much balls do they have, and if they can stay hidden or not, and how much do they jitter and are scared when there is someone next to them. (maybe it does relate a bit) But What I'm saying is the nature of how they hide and how they take cover. And what happens when one of my men is behind something. In this case, a bush.

No they did that in every war, ever. Just pretend you're dead. They shoot a couple of guys, then you pounce. Yea, but that depends on the situation, if you know there are dead bodies around, you just act like a dead body, but if there ARE no dead bodies around, then, what are you going to do when they find you, just laying down all still? I mean, what's the difference between the hide command, and regular troops going behind cover. Aren't you trying to hide in cover anyway? And is there a point to the hide command if your units don't know what the hell is going on around them, sure you can use a scout from far away, and hide everyone else. But that's a strategy question. Ok, so you say no peering around, no moving and no nothing. But then why does it show up on your hiding troops, that they are sometimes spotting and sometimes hiding, I think, my side of the argument makes much more sense. Hide as much as possible, but when you can, look out to see what's around you. Unless instructed otherwise. And that's the thing. If regularly, you tell your troops to find cover, aren't they hiding anyway? And what's the difference between finding cover, and hiding in the first place? Why is it that, when you put your troops to hide, that they are harder to spot? If you're in a bush, and you're not in the hide command, and then you put the hide command, why is it suddenly harder to spot you now that you've just put your head to the ground. You weren't moving before, you were facing a direction, and (let's assume the arc function is activated.) you're not firing either. I get that in hedgerows, hiding means going back into the hedgerow and not sticking out to see who's there. That makes sense. And in buildings, I can see that hiding means you don't stick your head out at all, but that's wrong for two reasons. The first reason is that when you're in a bush, you're already technically hidden, since you're taking cover behind the bush, and putting the hide command just means that you're putting your head down. That's one problem, but the second problem is that, why do your units, when set in the hide command, keep flashing from hiding, to spotting? If they are hiding, and spotting, then they should be well behind cover, and every 30 seconds or so, just peep their heads out for a second or two to see who's there. I think it just makes much more sense to make the troops hide, and put their body behind any cover(when I say cover, I mean anything hiding their bodies), and peep out once in a while. That just makes much much more sense. I mean look at the sniper's job, outside of the game. His whole job is to get somewhere, dress up as a bush, and just lie there looking at people. That's technically the hide command. But why do you got to have your head down to hide? What i mean is that, when you're prone, what's the difference if you've got your head in the dirt, or your head tilted to see in front of you, in both cases, you're still not moving. There is no difference.

I'm 23, I like to think and just see everyone burn, that's cool. also, can you play rts multiplayer on cm, or is it only wego? also, where can i find someone to play

Yea this poll isn't going to tell you anything, it's only going to tell you who joined the poll who's in the cm forum.

Yea, but that still doesn't make any sense. What if you are in a bush, and you press the hide command, you can't go any lower into the ground, you're already flat against it. Why does your spotting ability diminish, it's stupid. Also, if you're in a building, and you're hiding, OK. You hide behind the wall, but when you peek, and glance, at least make it so that they peek outside the window, and not just, move thier heads up from the fetal position, it makes no sense. What's the point of looking, while hiding, if you're not really looking out to see if anyone is there. Just occasionally.
